Because I Love Her in Brooklyn

Last week, contributors to Because I Love Her, an anthology of essays about what women writers have learned from their mothers and how they’ve tried to teach their daughters, met up at Brooklyn’s Book Court for a group event. “The reading was fantastic,” editor NIcki Richesin, who flew in from California for the gathering, emailed us afterwards. “Sheila Kohler did a dead-on impression of her mother-in-law’s Kentucky accent,” no mean feat for the South African author. “Sara Woster, Catherine Crawford and Laurie Gwen Shapiro delighted the audience with their dry sarcasm.”

To get a sense of the anthology, here’s a trailer directed by Shapiro with interviews with a handful of the 34 contributors.
